FDA and MHRA Compliance Solutions

Navigating the complex regulatory landscape can be tricky for life science organisations. Compliance with standards set out by regulatory bodies including Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), the US Department of Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) require robust processes, management and systems.

A strong Quality System protects patients while driving operational excellence. Regulators have long recognised the importance of a quality culture and an effective quality management system which assures a state of control, upholds regulatory compliance and drives improvement.

Q-Pulse is a quality management system which is used by hundreds of life science organisations worldwide to meet international standards and regulations, including ISO 13485, GxP, ISO 9001 and FDA 21 CFR Part 11.

Q-Pulse not only supports organisations in their compliance processes and management but provides tangible business insights and improvement opportunities for sustained commercial success.

Data integrity is a high profile issue in the pharmaceutical industry globally, partly as a result of enforcements, overseas inspections and criminal prosecutions instigated by FDA, MHRA and other European regulatory authorities.

By improving the management of the operational processes involved in clinical trials and other research, the manufacturing of drugs and also contract services such as testing, distribution and packaging, you can dramatically improve the overall performance of your organisation, reduce the risk of non-compliance, prevent failures and damage, and protect your corporate, professional and even personal reputation.
